hey everyone great site

Im a student and i drew out my assignment on CAD. I am running AutoCAD Architectural 2007. I drew my assignment out but i think i mess up with my limits and scale. I need my wall section drawing to be printed out at 1:5 scale. If you started the drawing with diffrent limits and scale can you change them at the end when you want to print it out?

how can i print this out at 1:5 scale

can anyone help a newbie out.

thanx

First lesson: Draw everything in Model Space 1:1.
Second lesson: Read up on paper space, creating viewports, setting viewport scale and printing from paper space. These topics have all been covered numerous times here, so do a search of the site.
